JLOFT teens built desks in the Beth El parking lot for students who didn’t have their own study space in their homes.
Volunteer Ventures MA (VVMA) highlighted J-LOFT (Jewish Learning Opportunities for Teens), a program for MetroWest Jewish teens founded by Beth El’s Shoni Aronovich, for its hands-on service programs. In just one year, J-LOFT organized three different service programs with VVMA that engaged over 200 MetroWest individuals and families in service: a desk-building event for J-LOFT parents and teens, a shelf-building event for the mitzvah class at Beth El, and the wildly popular MLK Day of Service, which engaged over 50 families in making much-needed food and student desks for various MetroWest nonprofits and schools.
